Simon Brown, BA (Hons) MA.LA LMLI

Landscape Architect A childhood spent in Africa and the depths of Wiltshire’s woodlands, as well as extensive travel, has given Simon a deep foundation and connection to culture and nature. At Bristol University Simon studied Archaeology and Anthropology - shaping and reinforcing an ecological worldview - derived from the study of indigenous tribal cultures. He wrote his dissertation on the Maasai of East Africa. In 2012 Simon completed a postgraduate conversion and Masters in Landscape Architecture from Greenwich University.
